The Commercial ReviewThursday, May 21, 2015

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewPortland Municipal Air-

port will be getting moreimprovements.Portland Board of Avia-

tion gave its approvalWednesday to repair twotaxiways that lead to T-hangars at the airport.The board also learned

flying lessons have begunat the airport and receivedseveral updates about doc-umentation regarding theplanned runway exten-sion.

Airport manager HalTavzel had asked theboard in April to considerpainting T-hangars, buthas since decided that thetaxiways are a more press-ing issue. He told boardmembers Mike McKee,Jim Runkle, Dale Baldaufand John Lyons that twoof the taxiways havesevere cracks and pose ahazard to planes.“There’s big rocks and

things, and my opinion isthat now it’s going tocause a problem for pro-

pellers,” said Tavzel. “It’ssomething that I feel likeneeds to get addressed.”The board gave Tavzel

the OK to hire T.J.’s Con-crete in Portland to do thework at a cost of $8,240 tobe paid from the mainte-nance budget. T.J.’srecently completed widen-ing a pair of driveways toT-hangars as well asrepairs to the airportentrance.Tavzel has also ordered

the part necessary to fix ahangar door that was

damaged during a recentstorm.There will be some new

safety features around theairport as American Elec-tric Power is ordering fourorange markers to beplaced on power lines near-by power lines. They willbe installed at no cost to thecity.Flying lessons are also

underway at the airportwith a pilot who owns hisown plane and is workingon his commercial license.Another pilot has also

offered his plane forinstruction purposes, andTavzel is working on devel-oping a formal agreement.“There’s been a huge

interest here the lastmonth in flight instruc-tion,” Tavzel said. “We’rereally working to start pro-viding that service.”Jason Clearwaters of

engineering firm Butler,Fairman and Seufert toldthe board appraisals havebeen ordered for landowned by Diana Michaelwest of the airport that will

be needed for the runwayextension. The firstappraisal is due May 29,and a review appraisal willfollow by June 5.The appraisals are the

first step toward acquiringthe land.Clearwaters presented a

copy of the airport’s newenvironmental agreement,which needed to be updatedin connection with the run-way extension. The boardplans to vote on the agree-ment at its June meeting.

By ALBERT AJIand BASSEM MROUEAssociated PressDAMASCUS, Syria — Islamic

State militants overran thefamed archaeological site atPalmyra early today, just hoursafter seizing the central Syriantown, activists and officialssaid, raising concerns theextremists might destroy someof the priceless ruins as theyhave done in neighboring Iraq.The Islamic State’s capture of

the town of Palmyra lateWednesday was a stunning tri-umph for the militant group,only days after it captured thestrategic city of Ramadi inIraq’s largest Sunni province.As IS took Palmyra, govern-

ment forces collapsed in the faceof the attacks and Syrian sol-diers were seen fleeing the area,activists said. In Damascus,state TV acknowledged that pro-government forces had with-drawn from the town.Rami Abdurrahman of the

Britain-based Syrian Observato-ry for Human Rights said theextremists overrun the archaeo-logical site, just to the southwestof the town itself, shortly aftermidnight Wednesday.An activist in Homs who goes

by the name of Bebars al-Talawy also confirmed that ISnow controls the ruins atPalmyra. Both activists said themilitants had not damaged thesite so far.A Facebook page close to IS

published a statement today,purportedly from the group, say-ing “the soldiers of the IslamicState” completed their controlof Palmyra as well as the town’sairport and prison. The capturecame after government forcescollapsed, “leaving large num-bers of dead whose bodies filledthe streets,” it said.The ruins at Palmyra are one

of the world’s most renownedhistoric sites and there werefears the extremists woulddestroy them as they did majorarchaeological sites in Iraq. TheUNESCO world heritage site isfamous for its 2,000-year-old tow-ering Roman-era colonnadesand other ruins and pricelessartifacts. Before the war, thou-sands of tourists a year visitedthe remote desert outpost, acherished landmark referred toby Syrians as the “Bride of theDesert.”In Damascus, Maamoun

Abdulkarim, the head of theAntiquities and MuseumDepartment, said Palmyra’stown museum had suffered“minor damages” during the ISonslaught.“The city is now totally con-

trolled by gunmen and its des-tiny is dark and dim,” warnedAbdulkarim. “We are in a stateof anticipation and fear” aboutwhat will happen to “the archae-ological site and the remainingartifacts in the museum.”

6,000 gallons of oil has beenraked, skimmed and vacuumedfrom a spill that stretched across9 miles of California coast, just afraction of the sticky, stinkinggoo that escaped from a brokenpipeline, officials said.Up to 105,000 gallons may have

leaked from the rupturedpipeline Tuesday, and up to21,000 gallons reached the sea offthe Santa Barbara coast, accord-

Want to be heard? Learn to listenDEAR ABBY: I am

responding to "Tired ofTalking to Myself" (Feb.13), whose husband's earsslam shut when she beginsto speak. This is not a problem

that's exclusive to men.Women do it as well. As aretired PA (physician'sassistant), when talkingwith patients, I wouldrefer to it as selective hear-ing loss. "Tired" needs to look at

her own behavior becauseI have never seen one part-ner be the only guilty one.My wife can hear the tick-ing of the turn signal thatwasn't turned off, but shedoesn't always hear myquestions or statements.

There are many reasonswhy it happens, but theway to resolve it is to lis-ten when your partnertalks to you. If you do, youwill find that he/shereturns the courtesy. Per-haps if "Tired" gives acloser look to her ownbehavior, she'll stop refer-ring to it as a male prob-lem. — FRANK IN PORT-LAND, TEXAS

Sometimes apoem’s aboutseeing clearlyBY TED KOOSERU.S. Poet LaureatePoets often do their best

work when they’re tellingus about somethingthey’ve seen without step-ping into the poem andtalking about themselves. Here’s a lovely poem of

observation by TerriKirby Erickson, who livesin North Carolina.

Hospital Parking Lot

Headscarf fluttering in the wind,stockings hanging loose on her vein-ropedlegs, an old woman clings to her husband

as if he were the last tree standing in a storm,though he is not the strong one.

His skin is translucent—more like a windowthan a shade. Without a shirt and coat,

we could see his lungs swell and shrink,his heart skip. But he has offered her his arm,and for sixty years, she has taken it.

To help make cleaningeasier, manufacturershave introduced wonder-ful new cleaning productsand equipment. I love microfiber cloths

because they are so handyand do a great cleaningjob. Try these hints forusing them around thehouse:Keep several microfiber

cloths underneath thefront seat of your vehicle.Use them to dust off thedashboard, radio andsteering wheel.Store a couple of

microfiber cloths in theselocations because theywill clean and shine thechrome, spiff up mirrors

and are great for wipingoff the sink. When thecloths become dirty, tossthem into the washingmachine.Freshen up your dog by

lightly dampening amicrofiber cloth withwater and wiping over itsfur. If your cat or dogneeds to get the gunk outof its eyes, a microfibercloth will do the job nicely.And if your pet, like Cab-bie, my miniature schnau-zer, gets a dirty beard aftereating, the cloth willremove that food crud.To take dust off live or

artificial leaves, lightlydampen a microfiber clothand wipe over the leaves.

To the editor:Bryant Loblolly Days has

been scheduled for the firstweekend after Labor Day sincethe early 1970s.Highlighting — past years

events include the landing ofthe Samaritan helicopter, vis-its from Ronald McDonald, thelanding of a skydiver, hot airballoon landing, the countryqueen contest, tractor pulls,horse pulls, baby contest, petparade, cow patty bingo, aparade and many other inex-

pensive or free events. It hasbeen the goal of the committeeto provide a weekend of lowcost enjoyment.Last year’s theme was “Duck

Dynasty,” including a “Duck

Dynasty” cast look-alike con-test. What fun.This year committee mem-

bers are struggling with theissue of “are there enough ofus on the committee to puttogether a 2015 Loblolly Daysevent?”We will miss the help of both

Kathy Davidson, previous pres-ident, and Janet Davidson, pre-vious treasurer. After manyyears they have resigned fromthe committee. We will misstheir help as well as the help

from their families andfriends.At the most recent Loblolly

Days meeting only seven mem-bers were present — thisincludes three new members —causing us to ask ourselves “arethere enough of us on the com-mittee to put on the festival in2015?”It seems a shame for a week-

end of inexpensive/free enjoy-ment to come to an end. LoblollyDays does not come together byitself. It takes months of plan-

ning and dedication from com-mittee members. However it isalso fun and rewarding work.We are urging anyone inter-

ested in helping or anyone want-ing to join the committee to con-tact president Scott Schoenleinat (260) 729-1127, treasurer DianeSchoenlein at (260) 997-8380 orsecretary Nancy Davidson at(260) 997-6111.Thank you in advance.Diane SchoenleinNancy DavidsonLoblolly Days committee

Letters tothe Editor

Future of Loblolly Days is in doubt

By LEONARD PITTS JR.Tribune Content AgencyMaybe some people did-

n’t understand the ques-tion.It was posed in this

space a few weeks ago byTracy, a self-described 55-year-old white womanfrom Texas who is sickand tired of the mount-ing litany of police vio-lence against unarmedAfrican-American boysand men. She wanted toknow what actions she,as an average person,might take to help bringabout change.“What can I do?” she

asked.I thought the question

so powerful and poignantthat I decided to devote aseries of columns toanswering it. I invitedreaders to offer answersof their own.It will be sometime

deep in summer before Ifinish digging out fromunder the 700-plus emailsthat poured in as a result.Many brought intriguingand creative suggestions— civilian review boards,policy changes, bodycams — that we’ll discussin future columns. Butmany other readersthought the answer laywith black peopleimproving their behav-ior.One, for instance,

decried a “breakdown ofthe black family.”Another wrote,

“Always obey, no matterwhat, a police officer.”Still another advised:

“Stop fornicating. Live aconservative lifestyle.”Coincidentally enough,

as I was reading theseemails, police in Dover,Delaware, were releasingdashcam video of a 2013incident in which Cpl.Thomas Webster,responding to a call of afight at a gas station,rolls up on Lateef Dicker-son, who is standingthere with his handsraised. Webster ordershim to the ground. AsDickerson, a 30-year-oldblack man, is complying,Webster kicks him in theface, breaking his jawand knocking him uncon-scious.That damning video

notwithstanding, a grandjury initially declined toindict Webster and hereturned to duty. Onlythis month did a secondjury finally indict him onfelony assault charges.So I wrote to some of

my correspondents ask-ing them to explain howexperiences such as thesereflect the breakdown ofthe black family. Obey thepolice?That’s what Dickerson

was doing when he waskicked. And how, onewonders, would sexualprudence or tea party

membership have savedhim from having his jawstove in?To date, I have seen no

satisfactory response.Let’s be clear. The ques-

tion of what African-American people can andshould do in the cause ofAfrican-American upliftis a valid one. But to sug-gest — as many readersdid, as certain punditsand politicians have —that uplift is the answerto police brutality is tomiss the point. The issuehere is not: What canblack people do toimprove themselves?Rather, it is: What can wedo to stop cops fromassaulting them for noreason?We might begin with

something as simple andself-evident as demand-ing police accountability.It should tell you some-thing that it took twogrand juries to indictWebster, even thoughthat video leaves nodoubt of his guilt.It should also tell you

something that he didthis knowing the camerawas on. Obviously, he did-n’t fear any conse-quences.Why should he? Ameri-

ca’s bizarre terror ofblack men is so epidemicthat a police officer willoften get the benefit ofthe doubt even whenthere is no doubt.The “reasoning” goes

something like this: Ifthe cops beat you, theymust have had a reason.And obviously you didsomething wrong or theywouldn’t have shot you.In a nation where those

naive assumptions arevery common, who can besurprised that indict-ments and convictions ofbad cops are very rare? Insuch a nation, the brazenmisbehavior of a Cpl.Webster becomes notsimply predictable, butinevitable.So it’s deeply frustrat-

ing that some of usbelieve police brutalitycan be fixed by African-American self-improve-ment.You will never solve

any problem you can’teven bring yourself toface.

To solve issue,we must face it

By TRUDY LIEBERMANRural Health News ServiceThere’s no getting around it.

Americans are using more medica-tions and spending more for them.The latest evidence just came

from Express Scripts, the pharma-cy benefit manager, which acts as amiddleman between drug makersand employers. The number ofAmericans — almost 600,000 —with yearly medication costs ofmore than $50,000 rose 63 percentfrom 2013 to 2014. The group ofpatients with costs over $100,000nearly tripled.By any measure these are huge

increases that don’t signal muchhope that the U.S. can bring downits medical spending, which is nowover 17 percent of the country’snational income. Express Scriptswas frank about the long-termimpact on employers and otherswho actually pay most of thosebills. It’s an “unsustainable $52 bil-lion a year.”Who are the patients with these

stratospheric drug expenses?Nearly 60 percent are Baby

Boomers, and more than half ofthose with expenses greater than$100,000 are men. Nearly two-thirds are taking 10 or more differ-ent medications. The use of anti-depressants was more than twiceas prevalent among these heavyusers as it is in the general popula-tion. What’s wrong with that? Don’t

we want people to have the latestand greatest drugs? After all,we’ve been conditioned fordecades now to believe that mod-ern medicines work miracles. Ofcourse, some have, but others havenot.Yet it has become ingrained in

the American psyche that patientsare entitled to these medicines nomatter the cost.Perhaps that’s why we tolerate

those intrusive drug companycommercials that bombard us atthe dinner table with cures for toe-nail fungus.But those ads work. They moti-

vate consumers to ask about thedrugs being hyped. Most of the

time the docs prescribe them. Cancer medications, hepatitis C

drugs like Sovaldi with its $84,000annual price tag and compoundedmedications, which use ingredi-ents mixed together in the exactstrength and dosage required bythe patient are the main culpritsfor the increases, Express Scriptssaid.A year ago Express Scripts,

which works on behalf of insur-ers, stopped covering some 1,000active ingredients compoundingpharmacies use for ointments,creams and powders, shifting someof the cost to patients. Not long ago I talked to Peter

Bach, a physician and epidemiolo-gist at Memorial Sloan KetteringCancer Center in New York City,about the high cost of drugs. Heechoed the Express Scripts find-ings.Bach told me makers of cancer

drugs can pretty much do whatthey want in setting prices. Theworst that happens is that a jour-nalist writes a story about super-high prices, and the practice con-tinues.Bach has called for freeing

insurers and government pro-grams from requirements toinclude all expensive drugs intheir plans and explaining to thepublic that some are not effectiveenough to justify the price, or set-ting prices equal to those in West-ern Europe, which are usuallydetermined through governmentand drug company negotiations.Either way, he says, it’s better thanwe have now. What about the claim that the

high cost of developing thesedrugs justifies their high pricetags?In mid-May a study published in

the New England Journal of Medi-

cine found the highly profitabledrug and biotech industries “actu-ally spend only a small fraction oftheir revenues on truly innovativeresearch.” The study noted thatlarge drug companies did notdevelop some of the most impor-tant recent new drugs butacquired them by purchasing thebiotech companies that did. In itsfirst year of sales, Gilead, the com-pany selling Sovaldi, totallyrecouped the $11 billion it paid forthe rights to market the drug.The public is becoming more

skeptical and starting to questionboth prices and drug companymarketing practices.“A year ago there was little dis-

cussion,” says John Rother, whoheads a group called the NationalCoalition on Health Care. “Todaythat is 100 percent reversed,” andthe group’s Campaign for Sustain-able Rx Pricing may be catchingon. “But I think we’re still a longway from agreement about what todo,” he said.Increasingly all consumers will

bear the costs of high-priced medi-cines through higher deductiblesand more cost-sharing. Sovaldiand similar drugs added $4.5 bil-lion to Medicare spending lastyear, more than 15 times whatMedicare paid for older hepatitis Cdrugs the year before.Only as Medicare beneficiaries

and everyone else with prescrip-tion drug coverage feels the pinch,will there be any serious chancethat people’s voices will be loudenough to effect any changesThat will happen, as Express

Scripts pointed out, when theprices become unsustainable.

In review

Continued from page 1Before the fall, hundreds of “the

most precious and beautiful”pieces from Palmyra were taken tosafe houses in Damascus, headded.Also today, many Palmyra resi-

dents were fleeing the town towardthe city of Homs and the capital,Damascus, according to TalalBarazi, the governor of the centralprovince of Homs, which includesPalmyra.The Syrian army is now outside

the town, from where it is target-ing Islamic State reinforcements,he said.“We have not received any news

about (the archaeological site’s)destruction,” Barazi told TheAssociated Press. “We hope thatthere will be no massacres in thecity or damage to the ruins.”Palmyra has a population of

some 65,000 people, according toBarazi. He added that 1,300 resi-dents fled over the past days andmore were trying to leave today.

On Wednesday, the head of theU.N.’s cultural agency called onSyria’s warring factions to imme-diately end hostilities within thearchaeological site.“I am deeply concerned by the

situation at the site of Palmyra.The fighting is putting at risk oneof the most significant sites in theMiddle East and its civilian popu-lation,” UNESCO chief Irina Boko-va said in a statement.She urged all parties to respect

international obligations to pro-

tect cultural heritage during con-flict.EU foreign policy chief Federica

Mogherini said that followingPalmyra’s fall, thousands are atrisk of arbitrary violent actionsand more destruction of culturalsites might be perpetrated.“Daesh’s mass killings and

deliberate destruction of archaeo-logical and cultural heritage inSyria and Iraq amount to a warcrime,” she said, using an Arabicacronym to refer to IS.

Overrun ...

By AYE AYE WINand EILEEN NGAssociated PressYANGON, Myanmar —

Four Malaysian navy shipsbegan searching the seasfor stranded boat peopleThursday in the first offi-cial rescue operation sincedesperate migrants startedwashing onto SoutheastAsia’s shores, and a for-merly reluctant Myanmaragreed to attend a regionalmeeting aimed at easingthe crisis.Thousands of Rohingya

Muslims and Bangladeshisare believed to be trappedon boats with little food orwater — some after beingpushed back by the naviesof at least three countries— and the internationalcommunity has warnedthat time to save them isrunning out.The announcement

Thursday by MalaysianPrime Minister NajibRazak was the latest in aseries of breakthroughs,including an offer by hiscountry and Indonesia toprovide temporary shelterto the desperate men,women and children until amore permanent solutionis found.He said he had ordered

his navy and coast guard toconduct search-and-rescueefforts for other boats.“We have to prevent loss

of life,” he tweeted.Navy chief Abdul Aziz

Jaafar said four vessels hadbeen deployed, and threehelicopters and three otherships were on standby.Myanmar, which earlier

hinted it would skip aregional meeting in Thai-land next week bringingtogether representatives ofmore than a dozen nations,changed course Thursday,saying it would attend.Around half the

migrants on the boats are

Rohingya Muslims who arefleeing persecution andviolence in predominantlyBuddhist Myanmar.“We are ready to cooper-

ate with other govern-ments to resolve the ongo-ing problems through con-structive engagement andon humanitariangrounds,” said Zaw Htay,director of the president’soffice.The decision was made

after an invitation letterarrived, he said, noting itdid not imply Myanmarwas solely responsible forthe crisis or use the wordRohingya, a term that isnot recognized by his gov-ernment.Myanmar officials refer

to members of the reli-gious minority as “Ben-galis,” implying they areillegal migrants fromBangladesh, even though

many have lived in thecountry for generations.The U.N. says the

Rohingya are one of themost persecuted groups inthe world. Neither Myan-mar nor Bangladesh recog-nizes them as citizens.Over the past few years,

Rohingya have facedincreasing state-sanc-tioned discrimination inMyanmar. They have beentargeted by violent mobsof Buddhist extremistsand confined to camps. Atleast 120,000 have fled tosea, and an unknown num-ber have died along theway.Since the crisis stated

unfolding three weeks ago,around 3,000 migrantshave washed to shore. TheU.N. refugee agency esti-mates more than 3,000 oth-ers may still be at sea.After pushing back sev-

eral vessels, Indonesia andMalaysia announcedWednesday they wouldoffer temporary shelter toincoming migrants if theinternational communityhelps resettle them withina year.They said it was a global,

not regional, problem.The United States

responded quickly, sayingit was prepared to take aleading role in any multi-country effort organizedby the U.N. refugee agencyto resettle the most vulner-able refugees.

Malaysia orders rescue

Associated Press/Binsar Bakkara

A Rohingya young girl cries today next to her sick mother at atemporary shelter in Bayeun, Aceh province, Indonesia. In the past threeweeks, thousands of people — Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution inMyanmar and Bangladeshis trying to escape poverty — have landed inovercrowded boats on the shores of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.

BETHLEHEM, Conn.(AP) — Mother DoloresHart finds it miraculousthat she was able to turnone kiss with Elvis Presleyinto the spark that helpedsave an abbey.The former starlet who

walked away from Holly-wood in 1963 to become anun spun her tale into afundraising campaign forher crumbling monasteryin rural Connecticut.But the pot boiler about

Presley’s first on-screenkiss and the girl whoturned from the screen tosisterhood has done morethan keep open the doorsof Abbey of Regina Laud-is. It has inspired newinterest in its monasticwork. Now she and theother nuns hope to raise up

to $9 million to restore theorder’s former brass facto-ry for future generations.Mother Dolores, now 76,

first shared her story withThe Associated Press in2011 as she and about 40other members of herBenedictine order facedthe possibility that theirabbey in Bethlehem wouldclose. Fire officials hadfound numerous fire codeand safety issues in whatwas a ramshackle collec-tion of factory buildings,barns and sheds that werelinked together in 1947after the nuns purchasedthe old industrial site.Mother Dolores went on

to write an autobiography,embark on a speaking tour,and make TV appearances.In 2012, she returned to

Hollywood to attend theAcademy Awards when adocumentary short abouther life, “God is the BiggerElvis,” was nominated foran Oscar.“Of course it was only a

nomination,” she joked.“I’m still waiting for thereal thing.” But the biggerreward, she said, came asan answer to her prayersfor the abbey.Shortly after her autobi-

ography was published,the monastery beganreceiving letters and dona-tions from across theworld. One man begansending $100 a month. Awoman in New Zealandsent $3,000. The nunsquickly raised more than$1 million. The abbey’smain building now has

new alarm and sprinklersystems, an elevator andother improvements.What was once a project

designed to keep the abbeyfrom closing has become afundraising effort to reno-vate the abbey for a longfuture.The most recent version

of the renovation plan,dubbed New Horizons,calls for a new chapel (theceiling is sagging), housingand other environmentallyfriendly and disabledaccessible spaces to liveand pray.Among other things, the

nuns need to install newwiring and insulation toprevent the constant freez-ing of pipes in the winter,fix the falling gutters,replace rotting wood and

get rid of the black moldthat can be seen growingon the ceiling of the for-mer barn that now housesthe print shop, bakery andsewing room.More than anything,

they need more space —common areas and placeswhere people can reflectwithout bumping into oneanother. They have no con-ference room and current-ly no way to walk insidefrom one end of themonastery to the otherwithout going through thechapel and disturbingthose who are prayingthere.The nuns estimate the

work will cost between $7.5million and $9 million.They have so far raisedmore than $3 million.

In review

By MARGERY A. BECKAssociated PressOMAHA, Neb. — A Nebraska

man opened fire Wednesday onofficers who were trying to arresthim for a previous shooting,prompting police to return gunfirein a shootout that left one officerand the suspect dead, OmahaPolice Chief Todd Schmaderersaid.Officer Kerrie Orozco, 29, died

at Creighton University MedicalCenter shortly after the 1 p.m.shooting, Schmaderer said at anews conference. Schmaderer saidthe suspect, 26-year-old MarcusWheeler, also died at the hospital.Schmaderer said Orozco was

part of a fugitive task force look-ing for Wheeler to serve a felonyarrest warrant. Wheeler, who waswanted on a warrant charginghim in an earlier shooting, openedfire on the officers as theyapproached him. Officers firedback, and Wheeler was later foundbehind a neighbor’s house suffer-ing from gunshot wounds, thechief said.

A semi-automatic handgun wasalso found on Wheeler, Schmader-er said.“Mr. Wheeler is a convicted

felon and a known gang member,”he said.Orozco was a seven-year veter-

an of the department and workedin its gang unit, Schmaderer said.She was also a new mother with apremature baby who is in anOmaha hospital.“(The baby) is set to be released

from the hospital tomorrow,”Schmaderer said, his voice break-ing.

It’s been more than 10 yearssince an Omaha officer was killedin the line of duty, when OfficerJason “Tye” Pratt was shot andkilled in September 2003, whilechasing down a fleeing suspect.The suspect, 21-year-old AlbertRucker of Omaha, was in turnshot and killed by another officer.Orozco is the first female Omaha

police officer to die in the line ofduty, according to a list on the Offi-cer Down Memorial online page.Besides her daughter, Orozco is

and 7, her mother and two sib-lings.Kerrie Orozco coached baseball

at an Omaha Boys and Girls Club,was a Special Olympics volunteerand served as president of thePolice Officers’ Ball to benefit theSpecial Olympics, the chief said.She also took in rescue dogs andwas a Girl Scout mentor.“She was a friend, a popular offi-

cer,” Schmaderer said. “I just can’teven imagine that this has hap-pened. The city of Omaha owesher and her family a debt of grati-tude.”

regret that this incidenthas occurred at all,”Chairman and CEO GregL. Armstrong said at anews conference. “Weapologize for the damagethat it’s done to thewildlife and to the envi-ronment.”Armstrong said the

company received permis-sion to continue cleanupoperations around theclock and vowed that they“will remain here untileverything has beenrestored to normal.”

Crude was flowingthrough the pipe at 54,600gallons an hour duringthe leak, the companysaid. Company officialsdidn’t say how long itleaked before it was dis-covered and shut down ordiscuss how fast the oilescaped.Federal regulators

from the Department ofTransportation, whichoversees oil pipeline safe-ty, investigated the leak’scause, the pipe’s condi-tion and the potential vio-lations.The 24-inch pipe built

in 1991 had no previousproblems and was thor-oughly inspected in 2012,according to the company.The pipe underwent simi-lar tests about two weeksago, though the resultshad not been analyzedyet.The Los Angeles Times

reported that the compa-ny accumulated 175 safetyand maintenance infrac-tions since 2006, accord-ing to federal records. Theinfractions involved pumpfailure, equipment mal-function, pipeline corro-sion and operator error.

By RICK CALLAHANAssociated PressINDIANAPOLIS — Indi-

ana’s health commissionerapproved a one-year nee-dle-exchange programtoday for a rural county atthe center of the state’slargest HIV outbreak, anepidemic that’s being driv-en by needle-sharingamong intravenous drugusers.Dr. Jerome Adams’

approval for Scott Countyincludes a public healthemergency declarationthat will allow it to operatea needle-exchange throughMay 24, 2016. The south-eastern Indiana countyhad been operating a tem-porary needle-exchangeunder an executive ordersigned by Gov. Mike Pencethat will expire Sunday.The county, about 30

miles north of Louisville,Kentucky, is the first toreceive state approval for a

needle-exchange under anew state law that providesfor exchanges if a commu-nity proves it’s facing anHIV or hepatitis C epidem-ic fueled by intravenousdrug use.State epidemiologist

Pam Pontones said todaythat 160 people have testedpositive for HIV — one in apreliminary test — sinceDecember. Most of theusers injected a liquefiedform of the painkillerOpana. Nearly all of thosecases have been in ScottCounty, which typicallyhas about five new HIVcases each year.Adams testified today

before the U.S. House’sSubcommittee on Over-sight and Investigationsthat the opioid abuseissues plaguing the nationrequire a multi-prongedapproach. He said officialsneed to address issues suchas homelessness, hunger,

access to health insuranceand integration into socie-ty after incarceration,along with access to educa-tion and jobs.“If people don’t have

hope, they will increasing-ly turn to and stay ondrugs,” Adams said, call-ing that “a painful lessonwe learned in Scott Coun-ty.”He said the lessons

aren’t limited to Indiana.“Our situation in Indi-

ana may be unprecedentedin many ways, but in manyothers, it illustrates prob-lems faced throughout ourcountry,” he said.”The Centers for Disease

Control and Preventionissued an alert to healthdepartments nationwidelast month, urging them totake steps to identify andtrack HIV and hepatitis Ccases to prevent outbreakssimilar to Indiana’s, whichwas detected in January.

Wilker, who then swipedsecond as FRHS catcherChase Bruns’ throw was offthe mark. Ryan Thobereached on a dropped thirdstrike and moved up 90 feeton a stolen base. With tworunners in scoring posi-tion, Ethan Nietfeld lined toJacob Homan to get Hobbsout of the jam.Hobbs, who improved to

8-1 on the season with a 0.59ERA — he’s allowed fiveearned runs in 55 2/3innings — struck out fourand walked none.Wendel came in for the

fifth inning, promptly retir-ing the first four batters hefaced before Nietfield brokeup the attempt at a com-bined no-hitter with a one-out single down the leftfield line.“Our pitching was

great,” said FRHS coachJerry Kaup. “JacksonHobbs (was) in control.They threatened one timeand he was able to put outthat fire.“I don’t think Cole ever

felt threatened, and ourdefense played well. Wewere able to manufacture,scratch out a couple runsand we were able to moveon.”Backs scored the first

run of the game followinghis leadoff double in thesecond inning. Homanwalked, and Kyle Schroerlaid down a sacrifice buntto put runners at secondand third with no outs.Nate Lochtefeld, who addeda single in the fourth,bounced out to Nietfeld atsecond to score Backs.It was the only run neces-

sary for the Indians to getthe victory, but they pushedacross runs in each of thethird, fourth and sixthinnings for good measure. Wendel beat out an

infield hit with two outs inthe third and scored onback-to-back errors. Stam-

men hit a single to lead offthe fifth and moved to sec-ond on Wendel’s sacrificebunt. Stammen thenswiped third for his 26thstolen base of the season —he’s one shy of his schoolrecord he set last season —and slid into home on apassed ball for a 3-0 FortRecovery lead.Ben Will gave the Indians

a four-run advantage whenhe scored from second onan errant pickoff attemptat first by Marion Localpitcher Aaron Nietfeld.Fort Recovery used just

about everything in itsoffensive arsenal — stolenbases, sacrifice bunts, hitand run — to put pressureon the Flyer defense. Kaupsaid it’s the ability to dothose types of things thatwill lead to success, espe-cially in the postseason.“Those things are going

to be critical,” he said.“Making those actuallyhappen, those are the teamsthat are going to move on.“And we’re hoping that’s

us.”With Minster up Satur-

day, Kaup said he’s hoping

for a different outcome thistime around. The Wildcatscapitalized on an error in a2-0 victory May 1 in FortRecovery, and outlasted theTribe in a pair of extra-inning victories last sea-son. Minster beat FortRecovery 5-3 in 10 inningsin the district semifinal ayear ago.The Indians’ last appear-

ance in the district finalalso came against Minster.FRHS trailed the Wildcatsby seven before scoring sixtimes in the bottom of theseventh inning and getting

the tying run to secondbase only to have its rallyfall short in a 7-6 defeat.Fort Recovery’s last dis-

trict championship was1953, the same year theIndians finished as staterunner-up.“Minster is a good pro-

gram,” Kaup said. “Theirkids understand baseballand they know how to win… and they accept losing.We’re hoping they aregoing to accept losing.“We think it’s going to be

competitive. We’re hopingit’s competitive. That’swhat we expect (and) we’rehoping to come out on top.”

Continued from page 12I saw Swanigan play twice this

year. (Oddly enough, I didn’t makeit to his Homestead squad’s sec-tional game against Jay County.)The first was in the regional

semifinal at Marion, where I waswitness to an passionate argu-ment between two Carroll fansabout whether Swanigan is “NBAready.” One fan was insistent thathe is, flailing his arms and throw-ing his program to the floor toemphasize the point.The second was at Banker’s Life

Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, whereit seemed as if the Spartans’ sea-son would end in tears. That wasbefore a furious last-minute come-back led to an overtime win for theClass 4A state title.What was interesting about

those games was that I don’tremember being all that

impressed with Swanigan ineither.Senior guard Jordan Geist hit

the game-winning shot with 1.7seconds left against Carroll. Laterin the day he scored eight of theSpartans’ final 10 points in a come-back win over Carmel. And it wasTahj Curry who sparked the rallyin the state title game.But numbers don’t lie. Swani-

gan had 18 points and six boardsagainst Carroll, 18 points and 11rebounds in the win over Carmeland 20 points, 14 rebounds and sixassists in that state title game.He got those stats quietly, but he

got them. And I’ve often pointedout that there are no style pointsin basketball. A lay-up earns thesame two points as a thunderousdunk.Effective is effective. And

Swanigan is.

He becomes Indiana’s first Mr.Basketball to choose Purdue sinceGlenn Robinson, who averaged30.3 points and 11.2 rebounds pergame as a junior, set the Big Ten’sall-time single season pointsrecord with 1,030 and was a unani-mous selection for the John R.Wooden and Naismith awards. His1994 Boilermaker squad lost in abid for a spot in the Final Four toDuke, but that came only afterRobinson suffered a back injury inthe previous game.This is not to say Swanigan will

approach Robinson’s level of play.That would be unreasonable.But his presence in West

Lafayette does raise expectations.Purdue finished fifth in the Big

Ten last season with no one aver-aging even 12 points per game.Swanigan’s announcement imme-diately puts it in the conference

championship conversation alongwith Maryland, Michigan andIndiana.The Boilermakers’ top two scor-

ers from 2014-15 — A.J. Hammons(11.9 points per game) and RaphealDavis (10.7) — will return to playwith the highly-touted recruit.Carmel graduate Ryan Cline, whowas second to Swanigan in the Mr.Basketball voting this year, isheaded to West Lafayette as well.Delta High School graduate

Matt Painter is a quality coach —he led Purdue to six straight 20-win seasons ending in 2012 — whogets the most out of his players.And this will be his most talentedgroup in at least four years.So I still don’t know exactly

what it means to “Boiler up.” Butgiven this week’s news, it seemsthere could be a lot of it happeningin March.

ATLANTA (AP) — J.R.Smith knocked down atough 3-pointer, thenanother. Turning towardthe fans, their hecklingtransformed to groans, heblew off his right indexfinger and motionedtoward his side, like hewas holstering his pistol.Yep, Smith was that hot.While LeBron James led

Cleveland with 31 points, itwas Smith who ignited theCavaliers in Game 1 of theEastern Conference finals.He made eight 3-pointersand scored 28 points in a97-89 victory over the top-seeded Atlanta Hawks onWednesday night.“When he gets hot,”

Cleveland coach DavidBlatt marveled, “he getssmoking hot.”Intent on bringing

Cleveland its first NBAtitle, James sealed the vic-tory with a soaring dunkin the final minute.For the Hawks, it was

the second straight seriesin which they’ve lost theopening game at home.Cleveland will look to takecommand of the series inGame 2 Friday night.Making matters worse

for Atlanta, DeMarre Car-roll went down with a kneeinjury driving to the bas-ket with 4:59 remaining.He was helped to the lock-er room, not putting anyweight on his left leg, andwill undergo an MRI todayto determine the serious-ness.

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewBoiler up.Ugh.That is one of the worst catch phrases

in all of sports.It’s right up there with “who dey” (our

grasp of the English language seems to belacking), “who dat” (even worse), “chirp,chirp” (very intimidating) and “go horse”(just one horse, or all of them?).Why stop at alienating just one fan base,

right?But a little jab at their silly cheer

shouldn’t do much to dampen the moodsof Purdue fans this week. After all, theBoilermakers seem to have vaulted them-selves into contention for the Big TenTitle, and maybe more.The news came Tuesday morning, when

@Biggs_Swanigan tweeted a simple hash-tag — #BoilerUp.Homestead High School big man Caleb

Swanigan is going to Purdue. He hadcalled the coaches to make his commit-ment Monday, his guardian RooseveltBarnes revealed the decision to several

media outlets a day later and the tweetwas the player’s nod to the Boilermakers.Really, the decision is not that much of a

surprise, at least after he decommittedfrom Michigan State on May 8.Barnes said Kentucky, California and

MSU all got consideration. But Kentuckynever seemed to be a real contender, andhe had already walked away from theSpartans. And while there was a lot of talkabout Cal, schools like UCLA and USCwould have made more sense if he hadreally planned to go out west.So Purdue was the logical landing place,

but Tuesday still had to seem like Christ-mas for Boilermaker basketball fans.
